Newcastle vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty
Newcastle 1-1 Everton: Calvert-Lewin’s late penalty cancelled out Alexander Isak’s first-half opener
Dominic Calvert-Lewin ended a 23-game goal drought as he scored a late penalty to give struggling Everton a 1-1 Premier League draw at Newcastle United, who will rue several missed opportunities in a match they largely dominated.
Everton were awarded the spot-kick when Ashley Young was hauled to the floor by Newcastle defender Paul Dummett, who had only just come onto the pitch, and Calvert-Lewin thrashed the ball into the net.
Alexander Isak had earlier scored for the fifth home game in a row for Newcastle after being played behind the Everton defence by Harvey Barnes, the Swede showing great composure to evade the challenges of James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite.
Everton, who are facing the potential of a second points deduction this season for a breach of Profit and Sustainability rules, stay in 16th place with 26 points from 30 games, four points above the relegation zone, while Newcastle are in eighth with 44 points from 30 games.

Chance after chance for Newcastle! It's absolute madness in the Everton box, Pickford is nowhere to be seen but Everton defend with their lives and Mykolenko clears it just off the line - how is this still 1-0?! Barnes now fires another shot clear over the bar from a Krafth cross!

Almost an equaliser for Everton! Garner - who has come on full of energy - spins on the ball and fires a brilliant first-time shot, but it bounces off the inside of the post! Huge, huge chance for Everton.

Decision made: Burn's goal is chalked off. Isak was leaning just a fraction too far forward beyond the Everton defence.

It's gone to VAR... They're checking for an offside on Isak.
